"The Queen of Peace Room is expansive life writing. The tragedy bound in this tale is epic. Yet, there is affirmation in Magie Dominic and in her story. The refusal of one human soul to let go of its dignity, its absolute unwillingness to surrender, is genuinely heroic. Reading this made me cherish the brutal privilege of being human - like the one who wrote this story. Like the one who lives this life. "

“Despite the sometimes horrifying subject matter, Dominic’s writing skill provides a balm which lifts this memoire into the extraordinary.”

— Dione M. Coumbe

“The Queen of Peace Room is a courageous and spiritual book. It is both searing and lyrical, infused with Dominic’s hope and hard-won trust in herself. It is a passionate search for the means and a safe context that will enable her to tell the truth: the painful and long-denied truth hidden beneath the more public layers of persona. The Queen of Peace Room is an eloquent chronicle of the struggles of Magie Dominic’s journey through a lifetime of memories.”

— Elly Danica, author of Don’t: A Woman’s Word

“In The Queen of Peace Room, Magie Dominic puts her guts on every page without being mawkish, with sentiment, but without sentimentality. You’ll love this book.”

— Donald Frost, editor-in-chief, The Village Voice

“It is her refreshing refusal to simply confess and forget...and her determination to construct a future from the painful shards of her past, that make The Queen of Peace Room such an original, instructive, and powerful book.”
